Lyrics

Daydreams

[Intro]

Sometimes, I don't know what to-

Sometimes, I don't know what to think

Sometimes, I don't know what to sing

Sometimes, I don't know what'll make it okay, make it okay

I'm snorin' all day for dreams... uh

[Verse 1]

Wake up ponderin', damn, my mind is wanderin'

All these opportunities left squandered in my oxygen

All accomplishments left haunted in my lack of confidence

Often is the result of fallin' under consciousness

You'd make babies cry, I make crazy lives

You're just angry, 'cause you're livin' in a fading lie

And I've been feelin' this energy, feelin' that somebody's gettin' the penalty

Fearin' that, one day, you end up ahead of me, feelin' that this is the end of me

No, will I tell you? No, never- I think I'm so clever

But in the grand scheme of things, I know that I'm no better

But I don't ever

Want to go to show just one mo' letter

I'm a go-getter, I go get grades and get A's

And get laid, then wake up, and get C's, but get paid

Uh... my life is so unusual

To most, it isn't suitable, to me, it's irrefutable

Can't see me in a cubicle, I'd rather watch my funeral

I'd rather go back to stab my own brains out back in utero

Damn... but you know that I'm capable

You know I'ma pounce at any chance that is available

Feelin' so unique, and I think it's not explainable

No one hears my lyrics, and says, "OMG, relatable!"

No, that's not what I am here to give

Been waitin' years for this, you're about to experience

Somethin' that I've spent time, money, and thought on

Learned about all the times money had thought wrong

Kinda funny, it's long gone, but time is crummy and not long

I ain't lucky, I'm not calm, not by a long-shot

I'm freakin' out on the inside, you see me on the outside

Always think I'm positive, and never see the downsides

It's 'bout time you know the truth, you couldn't be further from it

Get your head out your own ass, you couldn't be further up it

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I don't know what to sing

Sometimes, I don't know what to think

Sometimes, I don't know what'll make it okay, make it okay

I'm snorin' all day for dreams

Sometimes, I don't know what to sing

Sometimes, I don't know what to think

Sometimes, I don't know what'll make it okay, make it okay

I'm snorin' all day for dreams

[Verse 2]

I feel like I'm way too different

Ridiculous, and most of humanity's made of idiots

I barely even get myself, and you thinkin' you understand?

You think hidin' behind a screen gives you the upper-hand?

Please, what I do is barely poetry

There's hope for me, I'm noticing people starting to notice me

Uh, but still consider me confident

Still consider me ready and givin' out all my flawlessness

But honestly, all of this is hauntin' me, probably

It is just a sense of myself wobbling, toppling

Into awfully small pieces, normally all bleedin'

It's tragic and not fleetin', it follows me all evenin', it's—

It's callin' my name constantly, makes it so hard to stay awake

I close my eyes and let it go, and it all fades away

Yeah, we're just tryna find that great escape

To get away from how we're livin' life day-to-day

Some people find it in a drink or in a cup

Or in some bling, or in a drug, or in the things that give us love

But all I know is that it's tough

And all I know is that this stuff isn't enough- it's way too much

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I don't know what to sing

Sometimes, I don't know what to think

Sometimes, I don't know what'll make it okay, make it okay

I'm snorin' all day for dreams

Sometimes, I don't know what to sing

Sometimes, I don't know what to think

Sometimes, I don't know what'll make it okay, make it okay

I'm snorin' all day for dreams

Quadeca's ‘Baby Steps’ arrives with a crime-caper video directed by the artist himself

Self-produced track grapples with parenthood through absurdist humour and twin narratives.
